Surrey sign-off title defence against relegated Notts with disappointing draw

Scott Borthwick and Ollie Pope's centuries were the stand-out moments of another frustrating County Championship contest

The Oval (fourth day of four): Surrey 402-6d, Nottinghamshire 77-1

Scorecard

The Curtain fell on the 2019 County Championship season a few hours early at a sodden Kia Oval when the final day of action between Surrey and already relegated Nottinghamshire was abandoned without a ball bowled.

Heavy overnight rain which returned mid-morning soaked the outfield preventing play in the morning session.

An early lunch was taken in the hope things would dry out, but following a final inspection at 1pm umpires Chris Watts and Mark Saggers called proceedings off, so ending the game as a draw.

Surrey finish the season in sixth place with their County Championship pennant likely to be heading off imminently to champions-elect Essex.
